I visit Barcelona for the third time with the certainty of still being in love with the city.

The participation in JOYA was a nice excuse to spend a few more days in this beautiful city full of life and with so much to see.

Art and history, ancient and modern architecture, the colors of Gaudí, drinks, gofres and tapas, squares and markets, mountain, sea and city - Barcelona seems to have it all. The troubled stroll along Las Ramblas, the endless shops of Passeig de Gracia, the ascent by cable car to Montjuic, the labyrinthine paths of the Gothic Quarter, the nightlife of El Raval and El Born... and, of course, the wonderful discovery of Gaudí, whose works lurk at every corner to finally explode in the spiers of the Sagrada Familia.

The return to a city that we loved so much in the past is always a little bittersweet... on one hand the enthusiasm makes us want to enjoy and relive every moment, on the other, the way we look at the city in the present always suffers from the comparison with what we miss in who we were when we admired it in other times. Still, I'd certainly return again and I'm sure that in each return I'd discover new things and greater memories to bring with me on the baggage.

I leave you with some photos and will share some more soon! You can see them all here.
